1st (2) (0.22/1 +58%) River Tiber |
0.22/1(+58%) | (2) River Tiber 0.22/1, 480,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winning sprinter Mister Manannan. 5/6, won 7-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy) on debut 29 days ago, impressively. Smart prospect and the one to beat. Looked potentially very smart when winning by 10l on debut at Navan, Ryan Moore's choice. |

2nd (6) (5.5/1 +8%) Tourist |
5.5/1(+8%) | (6) Tourist 5.5/1, £70,000 yearling, Zoustar colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Stream. 7/2, second of 6 in novice event at this course (5.9f, good) on debut 15 days ago. Open to progress. Creditable second behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Johannes Brahms over 6f here on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RIVER TIBER was a most impressive ten length winner on debut at Navan and, even though the runner-up did nothing for the form next time, is difficult to oppose. The slight drop in trip is not a concern and he can take this en route to Royal Ascot. Stablemate Democracy won nicely himself at the Curragh and the runner-up has been placed a couple of times since. Tourist looked a winner for a long way until outpointed close home by another Ballydoyle-trained juvenile at this venue while I Am Invictus made 160,000 guineas at the Craven Breeze-Up Sales and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
RIVER TIBER looked out of the top drawer when making a winning debut in the most taking fashion at Navan so is taken to follow up and cement his place at the head of the market for the Coventry at Royal Ascot. His stablemate Democracy can follow him home ahead of Tourist.
Wide-margin Navan winner RIVER TIBER is the selected of the Ballydoyle pair and can be fancied to make it two from two

1st (7) (4/1 +11%) Ladies Church |
4/1(+11%) | (7) Ladies Church 4/1, Smart filly. C&D winner. Below form 3¾ lengths ninth of 15 to Danyah in Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 57 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Type to bounce back. C&D winner with trip/ground to suit and cheekpieces tried; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +0%) Moss Tucker |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Moss Tucker 3/1, Smart gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 7-runner listed race at this C&D (heavy) 27 days ago by 1½ lengths from Tenebrism, well on top finish. Not taken lightly. Recent C&D win a career-best; ideally wants it softer but still a major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (28/1 +15%) Lady Tilbury |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Lady Tilbury 28/1, Fairly useful filly. 6 lengths eighth of 9 to Fix You in listed race (14/1) at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Plenty to find. Conditions to suit but 3yo enters much deeper waters. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (2/1 +33%) Mooneista |
2/1(+33%) | (8) Mooneista 2/1, Smart mare. C&D winner. 7¼ lengths fifteenth of 19 to The Platinum Queen in Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp at Longchamp (5f, soft, 33/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Jack W. Davison. Big shout on best form. First start for in-form yard; trip/ground to suit and well suited by race conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (66/1 -164%) Anthem National |
66/1(-164%) | (3) Anthem National 66/1, Useful gelding. Fourth of 6 in minor event at Dundalk (8f, 2/1) 72 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Stable in good form. Difficult ask. Opening two Dundalk runs for current yard just okay; tries minimum trip for first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7.5/1 +0%) Tees Spirit |
7.5/1(+0%) | (2) Tees Spirit 7.5/1, Useful gelding. Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 24/1, 11½ lengths eighteenth of 19 to The Platinum Queen in Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp at Longchamp (5f, soft). Off 7 months. Front-runner needs a sound surface; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (20/1 +0%) Big Gossey |
20/1(+0%) | (5) Big Gossey 20/1, Useful gelding. 2½ lengths fourth of 7 to Moss Tucker in listed race at this C&D (heavy, 33/1) 27 days ago. Last month's C&D fourth to Moss Tucker faces stiff task here in a deeper race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 +0%) Arecibo |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Arecibo 12/1, Smart gelding. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, 7¾ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Vadream in Palace House Stakes at Newmarket (5f, soft) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Drawn wrong side when down the field in Group 3 Palace House Stakes latest; place claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (11/1 -38%) Castle Star |
11/1(-38%) | (6) Castle Star 11/1, Smart colt. 20½ lengths last of 18 to Kinross in Champions Sprint Stakes (28/1) at Ascot (6f, good to soft), slowly away. Off 7 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Dangerous if scaling a revival. Tongue tie tried on seasonal return but 5f on good ground may not be ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (66/1 -32%) Saliteh |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Saliteh 66/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, 6¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Tenebrism in listed race at Cork (6f, heavy) 43 days ago. Up against it. Useful sprint handicapper but well held in previous attempts at this level. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LADIES CHURCH, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, was a Group 2 winner at the Curragh last summer where she just pipped Mooneista on good ground. She comes into this race-fit having been out in Dubai where she just failed to add another Group 2 success to her tally on her penultimate start. Mooneista was bought for 850,000 guineas out of Jack Davison's yard in the autumn and has a nice pull at the weights with the selection compared to their clash at the Curragh. She's a Group 2 winner herself but that was some time ago so she escapes a penalty. Moss Tucker would prefer easier ground but has won two of his last three starts at Listed level while Tees Spirit was a big improver last term and these British sprinters always have to be feared when they come over to Ireland.
MOONEISTA ended last season out of form, but this looks a good opportunity for her to bounce back starting out for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Smart performers Moss Tucker and Ladies Church are others to consider.
Sold for 850,000gns last December, MOONEISTA can begin to recoup connections' outlay here on her first start for Joseph O'Brien

1st (8) (8/1 -14%) Porta Fortuna |
8/1(-14%) | (8) Porta Fortuna 8/1, Overcame inexperience to win 8-runner maiden (9/2) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut 35 days ago by neck from Neo Smart. Should be plenty more to come from her. Looked ready to step up in trip when beating Neo Smart over 5f on debut; form is suspect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (16/1 -146%) Launch |
16/1(-146%) | (4) Launch 16/1, Promising sort. ½-length second of 13 to Bated Moon in maiden at Cork (5f, soft, 16/1) on debut 16 days ago. May well do better and is 4 lb better off with that rival. Headed in the closing stages by Bated Moon on debut at Cork, longer trip may favour winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (1.62/1 +68%) Ribchestina |
1.62/1(+68%) | (9) Ribchestina 1.62/1, Cheap yearling who was well prepared to win 9-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 27 days ago, comfortably. First run for yard after leaving Ms Sheila Lavery. Open to improvement. Beat odds-on chance Vanity Pays over C&D, has now joined that filly's trainer, respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (100/1 -52%) Blame Thechampagne |
100/1(-52%) | (2) Blame Thechampagne 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 5¼ lengths fourth of 5 to His Majesty in listed race at the Curragh (5f, soft, 22/1) 20 days ago. Needs to step up the form she has shown in notching two fourth placings at the Curragh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (3.5/1 -75%) Ziggy's Dream |
3.5/1(-75%) | (13) Ziggy's Dream 3.5/1, Winning debut at Doncaster in April. 7/2, better form when second of 11 in minor event at Chester (5.1f, heavy) 11 days ago, not having run of race and strong at the finish. Open to progress. Won on debut, confirmed ability with Chester second despite not getting a clear run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (150/1 -127%) Smart Impression |
150/1(-127%) | (10) Smart Impression 150/1, Fifth of 9 in maiden at this course (5f, good, 22/1) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Ran green at this venue first time out, should improve but this looks too demanding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (25/1 +24%) What A Squeeze |
25/1(+24%) | (12) What A Squeeze 25/1, Fourth of 6 in novice event at this C&D (good, 12/1) on debut 15 days ago. Should progress. Looks capable of improving from her initial run; closely matched with Making Time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Bated Moon |
7.5/1(-15%) | (1) Bated Moon 7.5/1, 11/2, won 13-runner maiden at Cork (5f, soft) on debut 16 days ago by ½ length from Launch. Sure to improve for her leading yard so has to be of major interest. Got the better of today's rival Launch over 5f on debut at Cork, can probably uphold form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (16/1 +20%) Making Time |
16/1(+20%) | (5) Making Time 16/1, Third of 6 in novice event (11/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 15 days ago, finishing well. Likely to improve. Made an encouraging debut over C&D, could hold her own again previous winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (14/1 +13%) West Of Wichita |
14/1(+13%) | (11) West Of Wichita 14/1, Promising start when. 2¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Bated Moon in maiden (15/2) at Cork (5f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Sure to know more this time. Started slowly and stayed on well first time out at Cork. held by Bated Moon and Launch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (50/1 -25%) Neo Smart |
50/1(-25%) | (7) Neo Smart 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 15 in maiden at Cork (5f, good, 9/1) 4 days ago, not much room. Does look vulnerable at this level. Has failed to build on her neck second behind Porta Fortuna on debut, others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WEST OF WICHITA will be a bit of a price but makes some appeal after a promising debut at Cork. Kevin Coleman's filly wasn't unsupported but lost her chance with a slow break before coming home well to finish fourth. It wouldn't be the greatest surprise to see her turn around form with the first two home that day, Bated Moon and Launch, over this extra furlong. Ziggy's Dream has shown plenty of ability on soft ground and represents a yard which has won a couple of stakes races when sending horses over to Ireland while course and distance winner Ribchestina has switched yards but may not have beaten a lot in that debut victory. Making Time ran well against colts here on her first start while both Jakku and Navassa Island cost plenty and are notable newcomers.
There should be one or two useful fillies coming out of this, with bargain-buy RIBCHESTINA the most promising of all on the back of her stylish win over C&D a month ago. She's since transferred to the powerful Paddy Twomey team and there should be lots more to come. Bated Moon saw off Launch at Cork but a 4 lb weight pull may see the latter reverse the form, while British raider Ziggy's Dream adds extra interest.
A debut C&D winner for Sheila Lavery RIBCHESTINA may score on her first run for this stable, Ziggy's Dream rates a big danger

1st (2) (14/1 -17%) Cosmic Vega |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Cosmic Vega 14/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win here in November. Good 2 lengths third of 7 to Goldana in Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 12/1) 35 days ago, running on late. Useful form last season when won twice over 1m, solid third in Curragh Group 3 on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (6/1 +70%) Sharlouk |
6/1(+70%) | (11) Sharlouk 6/1, 6/5, won 13-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, heavy) 14 days ago, suited by drop in trip. This asks a different question. Won a maiden over this trip at Leopardstown, rise in class may be a bit much for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.5/1 +29%) New Energy |
2.5/1(+29%) | (4) New Energy 2.5/1, Smart colt. 5/4, 4 lengths fourth of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. This is a slight drop in class and he's a major player on these terms. Second in last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas, capable of much better than on seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (4.5/1 +72%) Panic Alarm |
4.5/1(+72%) | (10) Panic Alarm 4.5/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 6 to Lord Massusus in minor event (2/1) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 33 days ago. Won twice at two including over C&D, appears held by Lord Massusus on Gowran running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Mutasarref |
3.5/1(+30%) | (1) Mutasarref 3.5/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Career best when winning 7-runner listed race at Cork (7f, good, 6/5) by 3 lengths from Cigamia, pushed out. Off 9 months and must concede weight all round but he's in top hands. Completed a hat-trick of 7f wins when taking a Listed race at Cork last August, respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/1 -14%) Monaasib |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Monaasib 16/1, Useful gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 10/3, good ¾-length third of 6 to Villanova Queen in minor event at Tipperary (7.4f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Two wins were as a juvenile, overall profile suggests he is flattered by his 103 rating. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (6.5/1 +19%) Yerwanthere |
6.5/1(+19%) | (8) Yerwanthere 6.5/1, First run since leaving Patrick T. Foley when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 10/1). Off 170 days but she's unbeaten and limit hasn't been reached. Joined this stable after debut win last June, Dundalk winner in December, jumps in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (25/1 -178%) Villanova Queen |
25/1(-178%) | (7) Villanova Queen 25/1, Useful form when making winning reappearance in April. 10½ lengths last of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes (9/2) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Merits consideration away from the mud back down in trip. Did not handle testing conditions on latest, this should be more suitable at least. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (50/1 -52%) La Dolce Vita |
50/1(-52%) | (12) La Dolce Vita 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 28/1, 9½ lengths last of 10 to Never Ending Story in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 49 days ago. Pretty exposed. Fifth in the Moyglare on final start at two, in rear in a Group 3 event on seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (33/1 -32%) American Kestrel |
33/1(-32%) | (5) American Kestrel 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 3½ lengths fifth of 11 to Times Square in listed race (83/10) at Longchamp (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving David Menuisier and a big career best is needed. Went close to winning at this level in France last September, more needed on Irish debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (28/1 -40%) Smile Of Love |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Smile Of Love 28/1, Useful filly. Tongue strap on for first time, respectable 2¾ lengths third of 14 to Juncture in listed race at Dundalk (8f, 10/3). Off 6 months and this no easy task. Progressive in her four starts last year, not in the same league as stablemate Mutasarref. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Last year's Irish 2000 Guineas second NEW ENERGY should be a lot sharper now having had the benefit of a recent outing at Leopardstown. The Sheila Lavery-trained colt was slightly disappointing in managing only fourth in a Group 3 at the Foxrock venue but he wouldn't have been suited by the heavy ground. Back on a quicker surface now, it would be a surprise if he didn't play a major role in the outcome of this race. The improvement of Lord Massusus as a three-year-old has been one of the stories of the flat season to date. The Joseph Murphy-trained gelding was value for more than the winning margin over 6f here last time and he is already proven at this trip. Yerwanthere has a bit to find on official ratings but is a thoroughly unexposed, unbeaten filly who has further scope for progression.
LORD MASSUSUS produced a performance verging on smart when a cosy winning of a handicap a fortnight ago despite a less-than-ideal run and he can take the step up to listed company in his stride. New Energy is a big threat, along with unbeaten filly Yerwanthere and Villlanova Queen on drying ground.
It could pay to forgive the Classic-placed NEW ENERGY for his failure to shine in testing conditions on his seasonal debut

1st (5) (1.62/1 +19%) The Antarctic |
1.62/1(+19%) | (5) The Antarctic 1.62/1, Smart colt. Course winner. 4/5, 6¾ lengths third of 5 to Ocean Quest in listed race at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Stable in good form. Has to be taken seriously. Arguably the pick of the field on juvenile form, probably not suited by heavy at Navan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (2.5/1 +29%) Ocean Quest |
2.5/1(+29%) | (15) Ocean Quest 2.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, career best when winning 5-runner listed race at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 29 days ago by 6 lengths from Aesop's Fables. Can make presence felt again. Routed a field that included The Antarctic and Shartash in testing conditions at Navan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (14/1 +0%) Ocean Jewel |
14/1(+0%) | (14) Ocean Jewel 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2¼ lengths second of 9 to Beauty Crescent in listed race (11/2) at Fairyhouse (6f, good). Off 8 months. Should improve. Possibilities. Second in a 6f Listed race last September, capable of making further progress at three.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (50/1 -317%) Thunderbear |
50/1(-317%) | (6) Thunderbear 50/1, Useful gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 18/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 19 days ago, easily. This demands more though. Nottingham handicap winner, needs to improve again in order to feature at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/1 -43%) Shartash |
10/1(-43%) | (1) Shartash 10/1, Useful colt. C&D winner. 10/3, 20¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Ocean Quest in listed race at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. In the mix. Failed to do himself justice on seasonal debut, held his own at top level last season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (150/1 +0%) Torivega |
150/1(+0%) | (7) Torivega 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, heavy, 11/2) 14 days ago, slowly away. Plenty to find on form. Out of the money in two maiden outings, this looks highly ambitious. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (5.5/1 +21%) Mauiewowie |
5.5/1(+21%) | (12) Mauiewowie 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. Creditable 1½ lengths second of 9 to Fix You in listed race (5/2) at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. In the picture. Solid chance now after second to a British-trained rival in a Listed sprint at Cork. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (14/1 +13%) Maria Branwell |
14/1(+13%) | (11) Maria Branwell 14/1, Fairly useful filly. First run since leaving David O'Meara when creditable 3½ lengths fourth of 9 to Fix You in listed race (13/2) at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Stable in good form. Not discounted. Best form early last season. 2l behind runner-up Mauiewowie at Cork on seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (50/1 -100%) Apache Outlaw |
50/1(-100%) | (2) Apache Outlaw 50/1, Useful colt. 18/1, 5¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Aesop's Fables in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to firm). Off 9 months. Stable having good spell. Tongue strap on 1st time and not discounted. Third behind Shartash in Railway Stakes, plenty to prove in this grade on overall form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (80/1 -100%) Badb |
80/1(-100%) | (9) Badb 80/1, Fairly useful filly. 11/1, 5¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Fix You in listed race at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Trainer going well. Uphill task. Seems well exposed, looks safely held by Mauiewowie on running at Cork on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Clever And Cool |
33/1(+0%) | (10) Clever And Cool 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 5½ lengths fourth of 8 to Honey Girl in Athasi Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft, 25/1) 20 days ago, never nearer. Stable in good form so she's no forlorn hope. Has shown a tendency to start slowly, needs to raise her game considerably. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (25/1 +24%) Apricot Twist |
25/1(+24%) | (8) Apricot Twist 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. 6 lengths seventh of 11 to Funny Money Honey in listed race at Dundalk (5f, 5/1). Off 7 months and needs to take her form up a notch. Fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last August, second-string for trainer of Mauiewowie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (80/1 -21%) Nightcliff |
80/1(-21%) | (13) Nightcliff 80/1, Useful filly. 16 lengths eighth of 11 to Zarinsk in Cornelscourt Stakes (25/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not dismissed. Did not seem to stay 1m at Leopardstown a fortnight ago; others have strong credentials. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (80/1 +0%) Running Cool |
80/1(+0%) | (3) Running Cool 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Good third of 15 in maiden (11/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Has more to offer but this is a difficult ask. Showed maiden-winning potential on seasonal debut at Gowran, up against it at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (33/1 -32%) Song For Whoever |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Song For Whoever 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 8/15, career best when winning 7-runner minor event at Dundalk (6f), readily. Off 114 days. Makes turf debut with more required. Will need to surpass Dundalk form considerably in order to make an impact on turf debut.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
OCEAN QUEST may be able to confirm Navan form with The Antarctic, despite meeting that rival on 5lbs worse terms. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly caused a real upset at the County Meath venue when proving too strong for the dual Group 1-placed Ballydoyle colt but there appeared to be no fluke about her victory. Much will depend on the draw here, as Ocean Quest is berthed in stall 13, while her main threat has been handed a low number. The Antarctic seems certain to come on from his seasonal debut and should strip fitter for this contest. He looks a potentially top-class sprinter in the making so deserves plenty of respect. Mauiewowie made a hugely impressive winning debut over 5f at this track last season before going on to acquit herself well in Listed company subsequently. The Ger Lyons-trained filly has stamina to prove but has to enter calculations.
Lots of runners but THE ANTARCTIC looks the way to go here given he possesses the best form and can also boast a course victory. Ocean Quest rates the chief threat on the back of her recent listed success at Navan, with the less exposed Ocean Jewel also worth considering if ready to roll on her seasonal return.
With a low draw and on different ground and terms THE ANTARCTIC is tipped to reverse Navan form with Ocean Quest

1st (15) (2.25/1 +0%) Unless |
2.25/1(+0%) | (15) Unless 2.25/1, Fairly useful filly. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable second of 20 in maiden at this C&D (good, 11/4) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Sure to go well. Recent C&D second remains the one to beat with blinkers retained. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +0%) Lan Cinnte |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Lan Cinnte 4/1, Thrice-raced filly. 11/10, second of 17 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft) in October, staying on and just failing. Significant step up in trip should suit on return to action and she's fancied to feature. Just denied here last October; trip to suit and definite player if handling quicker ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (5/1 +23%) Sweetest Rose |
5/1(+23%) | (14) Sweetest Rose 5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable second of 15 in maiden (4/1) at Limerick (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and another likely to be thereabouts. Front-runner has solid form but could be vulnerable over this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (2/1 +50%) Persian Jewel |
2/1(+50%) | (12) Persian Jewel 2/1, €145,000 yearling, Showcasing filly. 7/2, third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 49 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better. Last month's Leopardstown debut promise makes her of interest; better ground should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (50/1 -178%) Kelly's Out |
50/1(-178%) | (4) Kelly's Out 50/1, Promising sort. 125/1, third of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) on debut 32 days ago, best work finish. Open to progress. Promising Gowran debut run but this looks a stronger maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (50/1 -100%) Muhaarar's Girl |
50/1(-100%) | (9) Muhaarar's Girl 50/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, eighth of 20 in maiden at this C&D (good, 22/1) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer. Satisfactory C&D debut but much more needed to play a major role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (80/1 -60%) Pascalia |
80/1(-60%) | (11) Pascalia 80/1, Churchill filly. 14/1, thirteenth of 20 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 15 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Churchill filly well held on C&D debut early this month; can only be watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (150/1 -20%) Lady Kai |
150/1(-20%) | (5) Lady Kai 150/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 20 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. Plenty keen when never featuring on recent C&D debut; likely to need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (200/1 +0%) O Merisi |
200/1(+0%) | (10) O Merisi 200/1, Once-raced filly. Thirteenth of 15 in maiden (80/1) at Limerick (7f, soft) on debut 29 days ago, very slowly away. Never sighted after slow start on last month's Limerick debut; can only be watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (50/1 +0%) Lan Mara |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Lan Mara 50/1, Lightly-raced filly. 20/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy) 33 days ago, off bridle before most and never landing a blow. Needs to leave that well behind to figure here. Return to better ground may suit but questions to answer at this stage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (200/1 -60%) Dance The Flame |
200/1(-60%) | (2) Dance The Flame 200/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden (125/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 11 days ago, making little impression. Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Not much so far in maidens, best waited for in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (8) (150/1 -20%) Lolyta |
150/1(-20%) | (8) Lolyta 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 12 in maiden at Cork (7f, heavy, 40/1) 43 days ago. Passed over. Two modest maiden runs this year, eligible for a mark after today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
UNLESS has been a frustrating sort to follow but may finally get her turn. The impeccably bred daughter of Justify out of the Group 1 winner Clemmie has filled the runner-up spot on all three outings this year and had three of these rivals well behind when fitted with blinkers over C&D earlier this month. Sweetest Rose also has plenty of experience filling the runner-up spot on her latest three starts including when reappearing at Limerick last month and Ger Lyons now fits blinkers on the Dark Angel filly. Lan Cinnte went close at Navan last autumn and could be suited by this step up to a mile while Persian Jewel should progress from her debut last month. Hotaugustnight and Rival Queen are two newcomers to note.
UNLESS ran another solid race when beaten only by another good prospect in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see Aidan O'Brien's filly firmly in the mix once more. Lan Cinnte, on return to action, and Sweetest Rose head up the dangers, with Persian Jewel and newcomer Rival Queen a couple of others worth a look.
Although she's had plenty of chances, it may pay to stick with UNLESS, although the less exposed Persian Jewel could prove a threat

1st (7) (6/1 +25%) Fort Vega |
6/1(+25%) | (7) Fort Vega 6/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 15-runner maiden (10/3) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, well positioned. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Looked to be crying out for this trip when winning at Gowran; holds fancy entries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.75/1 +30%) Broadhurst |
1.75/1(+30%) | (1) Broadhurst 1.75/1, Promising individual. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 10-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f, 11/8) 40 days ago, forging clear. Step up to 1m promises to suit now handicapping and he's one to consider. Ran away with Dundalk maiden last month; could have more to offer on this ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (16/1 +52%) Betterdaysrcoming |
16/1(+52%) | (5) Betterdaysrcoming 16/1, Course winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive. Will relish the return to better ground but others may have more scope for improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (7/1 -17%) Mere Accountant |
7/1(-17%) | (10) Mere Accountant 7/1, Promising type who got off the mark at the second attempt in a Dundalk maiden (7f) in November. Encouraging return to action when third of 11 in handicap at Cork (1m) 16 days ago and she's another open to further improvement. On a competitive mark and better ground should suit so definite player if settling better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (14/1 -17%) Sea Chariot |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Sea Chariot 14/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f, 10/3) 58 days ago, driven out. Gelded ahead of handicap debut and highly likely there's more to come. Dundalk winner not certain to appreciate return to this trip so could be vulnerable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (5/1 +9%) National Emblem |
5/1(+9%) | (6) National Emblem 5/1, Promising individual. 7/2, cosy winner of 11-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good) in August. That race has worked out well and he's high on the shortlist now handicapping on return to action. Gowran 2yo win working out really well; trip likely his limit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 +0%) Kalikapour |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Kalikapour 10/1, Lope De Vega colt. Well backed and left debut form behind when off the mark at second attempt in a Dundalk maiden (1m) back in December. Open to further improvement now handicapping on return. Dundalk win looks good; potentially smart handicapper although may want further in time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 +10%) Spirit Genie |
18/1(+10%) | (2) Spirit Genie 18/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 13/2) 27 days ago, weakening over 1f out. That was his first start for 7 months and he may be sharper here with a tongue tie refitted. Back on better ground to suit but Foley seemingly prefers National Emblem. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (28/1 -12%) Long Count |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Long Count 28/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (1m) 32 days ago, ridden approaching 2f out and one paced. Remains early days in handicaps but he may be vulnerable to one or two here. Others look better handicapped and possible ground concerns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (22/1 -120%) Amazing Show |
22/1(-120%) | (3) Amazing Show 22/1, Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Down Royal maiden (7f) last July. Never figured in Group 1 Moyglare on final start at the Curragh (7f) in September but this rates more suitable on return to action. Moyglare also-ran could have more to offer now her sights have been lowered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (14/1 -17%) Encosta |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Encosta 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, creditable fourth of 14 in minor event at this course (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress, particularly with this longer trip expected to suit. Juvenile form at 7f, slight reservations about this trip on seasonal return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
NATIONAL EMBLEM took a nice step up from his debut at the Curragh last summer when prominent throughout to take a seven-furlong maiden at Gowran Park beating Lord Massusus and Mister Mister. That pair are now rated 106 and 97 respectively so you would have to think that the selection starts handicap life here on a reasonable mark. Down Royal maiden winner Amazing Show takes a big drop in class after running in the Moyglare Stud Stakes last time, while Fort Vega finished well to land a Gowran maiden earlier this month. He should appreciate the extra furlong but would also be suited by a little ease in the ground. Broadhurst was unsuited by testing ground when reappearing at the Curragh but opened his account in no uncertain fashion at Dundalk last month. Mere Accountant is another to consider.
A strong-looking 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of Jessica Harrington's NATIONAL EMBLEM. He was a cosy winner on his second start in maidens last summer, and that form has been boosted subsequently, so he looks sure to progress further now his sights are set on handicaps. Broadhurst, on the back of his Dundalk success 6 weeks ago, Mere Accountant and Kalikapour head up the dangers.
Competitive and preference is for NATIONAL EMBLEM, whose maiden win has worked out really well and has his ground

1st (1) (2/1 +20%) Blues Emperor |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Blues Emperor 2/1, Matched best form, on return from 6 months off, when second of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 6/1) 29 days ago. 1 lb rise fair and holds strong claims. Limerick comeback run was good but untried on ground this quick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (14/1 -17%) Navagio |
14/1(-17%) | (10) Navagio 14/1, Seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more appealing. Disappointed latest; tongue tie now fitted and this more his sort of ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (6.5/1 +24%) Facethepuckout |
6.5/1(+24%) | (11) Facethepuckout 6.5/1, Won back-to-back handicaps (at up to 8.3f) in October and shaped well when third of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy, 14/1) on return 56 days ago. Respected. Solid seasonal return here in March; one to consider and Keane booking takes the eye. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (9/1 -125%) Independent Expert |
9/1(-125%) | (13) Independent Expert 9/1, Returned to form when creditable third of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist. Yet to really convince at this trip and probably wants easier ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (22/1 -57%) Red Heel |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Red Heel 22/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael Mulvany. Others more persuasive. Seasonal return for new yard and on a competitive mark with ground to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (11/1 +31%) Rick Dalton |
11/1(+31%) | (12) Rick Dalton 11/1, 9/2, creditable eighth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft) 29 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted. Frustrating maiden now has blinkers tried; Keane deserts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (10/1 +29%) Plume Noire |
10/1(+29%) | (8) Plume Noire 10/1, 20/1, respectable fourth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. Remains low mileage and warrants respect on return. Struggled in handicaps last year; still appears a bit too high in the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (10/1 +9%) Redstone Well |
10/1(+9%) | (9) Redstone Well 10/1, 13/2, good third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f), suited by increase in trip. Off 165 days. Back down in trip. Can make presence felt. Ran well on AW over the winter so should handle this ground; not one to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (16/1 +11%) Belharra |
16/1(+11%) | (2) Belharra 16/1, First run since leaving Francois Rohaut when ninth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 17/2) on IRE debut 29 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Plenty to find with Blues Emperor on Limerick run but better ground should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (12/1 -20%) Laughifuwant |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Laughifuwant 12/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 14 days ago, not clear run. Chance on old form. Not the force of old and remains opposable, especially on this sort of ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (12/1 +45%) Ms Eagleton |
12/1(+45%) | (14) Ms Eagleton 12/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft, 15/2). Off 8 months. Fairly treated on return. Has her ground for seasonal return but others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (14/1 +13%) Comfort Line |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Comfort Line 14/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Work to do. Unsuitable ground so far this year; potential improver back on favoured surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (33/1 +34%) Flaming Moon |
33/1(+34%) | (3) Flaming Moon 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 18/1 and hood on for 1st time in this code, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft) 29 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Dropped away tamely on Flat return at Limerick last month; hard to fancy. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BLUES EMPEROR won a Listowel maiden over a mile last year and ran a cracker on his reappearance when beating all bar the progressive Dunum at Limerick. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has only faced soft ground on the turf and could be open to further improvement on this surface. Red Heel won five times for Mick Mulvany including over this trip at the Curragh last summer and has now joined Willie McCreery, although riding arrangements suggest Belharra may be preferred of the Curragh trainer's pair. The latter won five times in France and was probably unsuited by the soft ground on her Irish debut. Comfort Line was also trained by Mick Mulvany when winning over a mile at Navan last summer and has dropped back down in the ratings after racing on soft ground so far this year.
Preference is for BLUES EMPEROR, who made an encouraging reappearance at Limerick last month and remains low mileage. Facethepuckout and Independent Expert head the list of dangers.
Very open and a tentative selection is FACETHEPUCKOUT with Colin Keane taking over

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
